College faces $60,000 fund loss Palom a r College, facing the loss of $6 0,000 this yea r in fede r al impact aid und er the reduced congressional appropriation for education, is urging support of legislation to provide in-lieu-of tax payments or a modification of tax laws to rescue the affected school and college di s tricts from the financial blow. A r es olution on the subject has been au thori zed hy the Palomar College board of go ve rnors and was forwarded yesterday by Dr. Frederick R. Huber , president, to Washington. The r esolution went to Hep. James B. Utt, Rep. Lionel Van Dee rlin, Rep. Bob Wilson, and Senators George Murphy and Alan Cranston. The resolution in full follows:

"Funds under Public Law 874 (Federal Impact) amounted to the equivalent of salaries for about five teachers at Palomar Junior College . This is a significant portion of the total day faculty of 108. The loss therefore is one which will be reflected in a sizeable reduction in the ability of this junior college to educate young people of northern San Diego County. "Our Federal impact was principally through Camp Pendleton and Miramar Air Station, both of which are quite active and appear to be high on the lists of permanent military and naval installations. Therefore, the impact on this junior college , as well as on the e le-

Great inequities are therefore crea ted for the taxpaye rs of this area, for the \' mu t bear the load of higher tax a ssess me nts to raise funds which ordinari i ~路 II'Ould be provided by the taxes from busine sses and industries providing emp l o~路 ment for the fami lies .

However, local taxes must support the s chools to a very high extent. In the case of this junior college , local taxes c reate about 70 percent to 75 percent (varies annually) of the funds needed to operate the schools and junior colleges . The school districts may levy taxes only on the home s of these many servicemen and employees , and not on the

Palomar received well-rounded game scoring, placing five men in double figures--Bojorquez 25, Bob Lebrun 17, E arl May 14, Ayars 13, and David Faulkner 10. In a February 4 contest with Citrus JC, Palomar came out on the short end of a 94-74 score. The Comets went into the game with an undisputed hold on first place and came away in a four way tie. David Faulkner was the big gun, netting 19 points, hitting eight of ll field goal attempts. Palomar lost its first conference game of the season Jan. 28 as a visiting Grossmont club bombed the Comets, 91-70 . The loss pushed Gilmour's club into a first place tie, but it was back on top a lone Saturday after topping Chaffey, 84- 66, and getting some help from Riverside, which defeated San Bernardino. Agai nst Grossmont, Palomar was outshot, outboarded, outhustled and outfought, but showed some signs of coming back when they beat Chafffey. With the latter's 0-5 conference record and 0- 21 overall mark, however, it was difficult to measure .. Guerrieri, turning in his best performance of the season, led the Comet scoring against Grossmont with 17 points Against Chaffey, it was a solid team effort with May, Ayars and Bojorquez all hitting 14 points, with Embrey and Heine each potting 10. Palomar hit 46 percent of its shots against Chaffey after a miserable 35. 3 against Grossmont.

The Indians were the pre-season favorites before they fell to Palomar in the Conference opener 92-84. San Berdoo has since lost to Riverside and Grossmont to remain one game off the pace set by the conference co-leaders Palomar and Grossmont.
